Liverpool Care Pathway - Giving In And Letting Go

Life is at threat. The priorities are changed. The focus has been subtly altered. Before your very eyes...!

When they describe someone as being technically dead or brain
dead, do they really mean ‘as good as dead’? It is less a scientific evaluation and more a value judgement.We are all at risk because of this downsizing of focus. Steven Thorpe was declared to be
brain dead by four medical experts. Brain scans failed to detect any electrical pulses. It was only the
persistence and determination of his family that kept the death cultists from
removing the life support.This is Steven:

"My father believed I was still there.

"He expressed his views to Julia Piper and I think she listened very closely to what my dad had said.

"My impression is maybe the hospital weren't very happy that my father wanted a second opinion.

"I think the doctors wanted to give me three days on the life support machine and the following day they said they wanted to turn it off.

"The words they used to my parents were 'you need to start thinking about organ donations'.

"I think that's what gave my dad energy, he thought 'no way'.

"I think if my dad would've agreed with them then it would've been off in seconds.

"If my parents hadn't asked for the second opinion, and if Julia hadn't been there, I wouldn't be here today."

The pressure for organ donation is another real danger, another
card the death cultists can play. The body is a crop to harvest. It is the
strange fruit hanging from the tree.In Wales,
unless there is a declaration not agreeing to organ donation, the assumption is
that you have agreed. These are all arguments in their armoury to press ahead
and switch off life support.Steven observes:

When
is movement just a motor response? And when does it indicate more, much more than that?A
death focus removes 'improbable' considerations from the picture. A pathway may
guide the ignorant in their basic tasks and functions but, when those pathways
contain No Entry signs that deny access to avenues of investigation which
should be followed, they should be abandoned. This death cult which struts through
our hospital wards is killing people and doing harm.

NICE organ donation guidance makes it explicit in its first recommendation
that ‘organ donation should be considered as a usual part of “end-of-life care”
planning.’

The Liverpool Care Pathway
(LCP) included in its documentation, a prompt for clinicians to discuss tissue
and organ donation with the patient, and if appropriate their relatives. An
audit performed at KingstonHospital found that of 20
LCP proforma’s completed, only 1 had documented that this information had been
ascertained.

Should they continue to maintain your life or farm your body parts to save three, four, more other lives? Such considerations should not enter into the equation to influence the judgement of the attending doctor.These are not the considerations of the traditional doctor whose attention is focused on the patient in front of them. These are the considerations of the politicised Communitarian Practitioner.There is a State directed EoL programme in effect. The EoLC programme means winding down those care expectations. Limiting, removing, denying treatment options is already halfway to fulfilling the EoL prognosis.The physician stands fast no more to fight the good fight. The lone guard at our bedside, upon whom we relied to ward off the perils which engulf us, stands back from the spectacle of the fray and is become a mere spectator.No longer does the Healer heal. Is no-one listening? In British hospitals, there has been a programme of death initiated. The evidence is there for those who wish to see.

About Me

I am distraught and I despair that these events have befallen this family. The picture is of me and my lovely mum, murdered on the NHS (National-socialist Health Service). Murdered. Is that too strong a word? Her life was taken without her permission. By omission and by commission, actions taken and not taken conspired to end her life. She was kept in ignorance of what was proceeding before her very eyes, as were we. Was she, then, not murdered?
